(Edit: I'm sorry about that. I have no idea what happened.)
Pipit let out a small yelp as he, along with the whole other mass of players online at the moment, were transported to the center plaza in the Town of Beginnings. Midst the commotion a large figured appeared as the sky turned a dark red along with warning messages all over the place. The large figure silenced the crowd and began to speak. Words of how they players were all trapped inside the game sparked new noises to come from the crowd.
Just as every other player was doing this Pipit brought his menu down and sure enough, the Log Out button was missing. So..this just had be some kind of event right? There was no way the developers would just do this to all these people...right?

Just when he was about to close his inventory he caught sight of something. He didn't remember having anything before so he gave it a second glace. A Mirror had been placed in his inventory.
Pipit tapped it and it materialized in his hand. He noticed he wasn't the only one with the mirror either. So he looked into it and when he did a flash of white erupted around him, and all the other players who looked at their reflections. When the light subsided, Pipit looked himself over and then looked back at his reflection
He let out a small yelp again as he now looked exactly like he did in the real world! The changes from his avatar weren't that much though, but they were noticeable to him. Player's quickly realized who everyone really was.
At this moment the figured continued to speak and after a few minutes he was gone and the sky returned to normal and the barriers around the town went away.

Players started to funnel out of the Plaza and the commotion started up again. Pipit slowly started to walk along with the mass but he really didn't know why. If this was real...then he was trapped in here. And if he died in this game..he was dead in real life. It was almost too much to comprehend at this moment...but now he just needed time to think.
So the young man continued to walk by himself through the small crowd he was a part of to exit the Town. This had to be some kind of Day One event or something. There was no way this was real. Right?

After Rhett felt good and ready and let out a heavy sigh before remaining silent for a few more seconds. The Nervegear on his head was beeping and blinking as it anticipated his command. So Rhett finally felt ready, he felt the words build up inside of him and he opened his mouth. "Link Start!"
With that said the flash of lights and sounds came seemingly out of nowhere as they flooded into Rhett's mind. He saw a few words pop up as they were checking his senses and...vitals? He sword he saw that pop up. But that didn't matter now.

He was prompted to sign in and he did and right after that the flashing colors stopped and he was given a white screen. At this moment he didn't know it but he was now fully a part of the virtual world. He was gone.
Next thing he knew he was opening up his eyes in an unknown plaza of sorts. His ears were taken over by the sounds of voices and other noises and Rhett quickly came to his senses.

He looked down to his hands and then all over his body and realized he was now in the game. Players were spawning in all over the place and it was a wondrous sight to see. A few players cast looks all around and Rhett was doing the same. He started to smile as he walked along through the plaza. Sure he was alone but that didn't really matter to him now.
He just felt so immersed in this world...it was unreal. Everything felt so real though! As he continued to walk along he decided to stop at a fountain of sorts and just take a moment. A few players walked past him, talking about going and slaying a few monsters or looking for loot. That sounds fun to Rhett!..Or..now Pipit. He forgot about his username. He was going to need to get used to calling himself that. Shouldn't be hard.

So as he standing next to the fountain he brought his hand up and waved it down. Even though it was unintentional he opened up his menu. Pipit looked over his stats and his inventory and everything else. Everything was basic for him, as it should have been. He picked beast tamer...so why didn't he have a beast yet? Or was that just a name title or something? Oh well..no time to think about that now.
So Pipit closed his inventory and started to head off in one direction. He had no idea where he was going, but he was still in that same town of sorts it seemed. It stretched on for a good while. Did he have a map of some kind? Or a quest at least? Only time would tell most likely, the game did just start.
As Rhett stood in the seemingly never ending line to get what he came for he couldn't help but often let himself dream on and lose himself in what he was thinking about. He just got away from hanging with a few of his friends and earlier this day he took a small leave from work for just a few days or so. His boss was so chill, it was a blessing one would say. But at the moment Rhett felt like his legs were going to collapse on themselves.
Midst the cold air of the city and the constant barrage of noise that was entering his ears one would think that any sane person would just give up and go home to rest and relax. But Rhett was determined to get what he came for. He had already dropped a great sum of money on this project and he wasn't about to just leave out the key part.

He kept calling this a project but it really wasn't that at all. Oh hey! The line moved slightly! Oh no...the line was moving rather rapidly now. Eager people continued to pour out of the store on the other door, each of them holding a copy of the fabled game that Rhett had been waiting to get his hand on. Rhett knew a few of the guys that worked at the game place where he was at, and all of them already had their copies of the game. Each of them guaranteed Rhett a copy...but he knew how time, and possible angry customers, could change that.
So with a shift of his jacket the young man continued to step up in the line he was waiting in.

Finally he entered the store. The warm air from the heating unit clasped onto his body and gave him comfort from the harsh winds of the city outside. He actually felt bad for the people standing outside still. But this line was moving now so..
Inside the store the SAO propaganda was plastered all over the place. Promises of untold adventures and a massive world to explore filled every gamer's head with their own vision of how the game would pan out. From the things Rhett had read about and heard about...he figured he was going to love this game.
And now was the time. He approached the counter and gave a smile to the worker behind the counter.

It wasn't one of his friends but the worker knew what he was here for but he still decided to ask. "Lemme guess. Want your copy of SAO?"

Rhett replied with a soft chuckle and a nod as he brought out his wallet. "Yeah, that's it." The worker nodded again and brought over a copy of the game in its pristine case, still wrapped. He punched a few numbers into the system and as Rhett handed him the exact amount of money for the game the worker handed him his copy of the game. Rhett grasped a hold of his copy and said his goodbyes by simply waving, and then he was out of the store. The transition from the warm interior to the brisk exterior was a bit unwelcoming but he had somewhere to be. It was rather late but he had nothing else to do tomorrow. He had the day off and all.

As he drew close to his apartment he reached for his keys and wriggled with them until he found the key he needed. With a few clicks his apartment door opened up and he was back home. Luckily he left the heat on inside so his home was nice and warm. With a triumphant push he shut the door and then laid the game on the table next to him. He took off his jacket and scarf and laid them on the back of a chair.
He picked the game up and started to take it out of its wrapping as he examined the back and simultaneously made his way to his room with his computer.
Once inside the room he flicked the light on and smiled as his system was still on. He was happy know that he went through all that trouble to set the whole thing up and get it running earlier. Now all he had to do was just put the game in and put on the Nervegear and he was good to go.

With a slight hesitation Rhett took the game out of the case and held it in his fingers. He examined it a few times before looking down to the disc tray on his computer tower. It looked hungry for the disc, who was Rhett to deny a computer food?
Slowly he placed the game in and he closed the tray. A few lights on the Nervegear started to flash so Rhett unplugged the helmet and held it in his hands. He gently placed it on his head and strapped it around his chin.
The young man then collapsed on his bed and his whole body just seemed to melt into the sheets and covers. But he couldn't sleep. He was wide awake and he was about to experience something amazing.
"Alright.." He said hesitantly. "The time has come." A smile crept on his face as he readied himself for Sword Art Online.

Short bio: As a young man living on his own the average grind at work and college classes were taking their toll on Rhett. He had been a gamer ever since he could remember so gaming was his safe haven, so to speak. But when he was growing up he was limited to what games he could play and for how long he could play them. And he had to balance a social life on top of that, but that's not that important right? Anyways, when Rhett graduated High school he set out to live on his own. He was old enough and he was determined to live by his own rules. So as the summer drew to a close Rhett found himself a nice apartment where he could be himself.
Now he has been living in this apartment for about two years now, and still gaming at least a good ten hours a day. Rhett is one to love animals as well, specifically dogs...he isn't a cat person at all. Even though he was on his own he still couldn't get a dog though, the apartment complex didn't allow pets. But one day!

But that's a little off topic. As Rhett's year of college came to a close he started to hear word of a new virtual reality game that was supposedly up and coming. Rhett did his research and found out about the game, a Sword Art Online. He was instantly hooked, even though he couldn't play the game. To actually be able to immerse yourself fully into a game with mind and body just seemed so fascinating to Rhett. So he waited and waited for the game to come out and when the (what felt like) years came to an end Rhett bought the required hardware and his own copy of Sword Art Online. Upon further inspection Rhett learned that one could...have their own pet or companion. All the more reason to love the game!

Personality in the game: Even though he isn't that thrilled about being trapped in SAO he isn't happier than most players. He is one to have his happiness rub off on others, but due to his constant good behavior and attitude he can often rush into things without really knowing what he is doing. He is overly protective of his beast, and that is never going to let up. He is one to ask for help if he needs it and he will often voice his opinion during any situation. He loves to get his two cents in you see?

Personality in real life:

Their thoughts on being stuck in SAO: At first he was rather horrified at the thought of being trapped in a virtual reality where if he died in the game he died in real life. Though that was every players reaction, to be honest he was rather surprised he didn't die on the first night. But when he picked his class he chose Beast Tamer for a reason. When he learned that he could have his own faithful companion at his side during thick and thin...well it sort of kept him going. He didn't have his friend at first he had to go find and tame him. But now that he has been in the game for quite some time he has warmed up to living in this game. It is fun to him, even though every day is a sort of struggle.
Even though he truly does want to get out and back to reality, he might be one of the few to say that they actually like being in SAO.
This sounds awesome! I'm interested! :D
